Les Misérables [悲惨世界] - a circle of history. -- Les Misérables 悲惨世界 ** It's the note I intended to post a few months back, but seems in time for its new movie fame... also recent tragedies around the world.. C'est le temps de la vie , qui cirulate tout le temps .   Miserable life, exist everywhere, yet, when you look at it, its 'miserables', is repetitive throughout history.     Les Misérables by Victor Hugo, is, no doubt, one of the best novel in the world, not only it touches people but deep into humanity, the righteousness one must decide while living, on this miserable world...   -- On an interesting note: the musical created in French, yet populate by English act, finding original French version of it, is bit difficult w/o iTune.    Les misérables (Paris, Thèâtre Mogador 1991) ---   How miserable is miserable??     I'm pretty sure everyone can list things that they feel miserable about, in this modern era. Howeve...

If, Access... -- If I have access, to rice, I'll eat it, 'cause I'm hungry... If I have access, to rice and fish(fresh one), and have time, I'll make the sushi, 'cause it's more delicious... If I have access, to meat, I'll check its tenderness, then decide what to do with it... If I have access, to clean water, I'll try not to think about purified water... If I have access, to coffee, I'll make sure it's better than Starbucks... If I have access, to violent, I'll think other method to cease it from growing... If I have access, to love, I'll plan the way to spread it for others... Then, If I don't have access, to love, it's not the end of the world... If I don't have access, to violent, there's no reason to get one... If I don't have access, to air, then I'll die... Therefore, If you have access, to love and passion, take care of them, it's much better to share them... ---- Lastl...

《傳說》騰格爾 --- -- 風從草原走過 吹散多少傳說 留下的只有你的故事 被酒和奶茶釀成了歌 馬背上的家園 因為你而遼闊 到處傳揚你的恩德 在牧人的心頭銘刻 深深銘刻 每一個降生的嬰兒 都帶著你的血性 每一張牧人的臉龐 都有你的輪廓 每一座氈房的夢裡 都有你打馬走過 -- 昨夜清風今夜雨，回首明夜何許痴，語笑嫣然夢玄凰，一起一落一昭心。 -Oct. 16, '12 --

向陽東。 落葉紛飛楊柳絮，花謝花開朝陽曲，口天木易三劃籽，心辛難言六十載。 傲陽東，秋風離，奔西走東曲難盡，芊手干磨幽咽已，秀何方，掌中啼。 幽冥仙境何處尋？哪方親心欲往尋，北海高塔眾家聚，籽分東西種四海。 緣起因分，納蘭詞曲，人起性空，何事秋風，何故姻緣，何故倆離，何故安康，何故放下。 菁踏山，遊它谷，少時相聚老別離，若即若離抽指情，手心難展猶分離，化眠冬，話別情。 傲楊東，向陽東，西天取，南面守，北國冬旭，南國娜情。 一世辛勞，一世情，手放南歸，心疾若留，不若歸去，安穩西引， 河渡有緣，流急若離，若有似無，刻骨留心，子孫歸念，天口一家。 向陽東，西門成都，六載姻緣，三門因緣，九世傳家。 念楊柳，風飄逸，隨雲都走一串心，朵朵盛開水漣漪，天河倒影池中蓮。 向陽東，人潮曲，一曲彈盡後人題，壁留秀雅映孫賢。 向陽東，西方曲，幽谷屏鐘開世心，螢火明燈水月情。 離世入世，兩面陰陽，輪轉不歇。 語寄親人初離世，兩語三言，猶若情，止為禮。 秋月九，太極運，起。 -木桐 9/11/12 @Toga.

I think this year's election is going to be even tighter, and nastier... Both parties had good conventions and hold its believers closely. Course, there are still many intended 'miss information' to mislead people, lure them into their camp. Candidates:  I actually am aware of both when they first came to national stage: Romney: '02 Utah Winter Olympics. Obama: '04 DNC convention.    I liked them both, and figure they'll shine one day, I was surprised by Obama's eagerness to be president and actually beat H.Clinton. That's a surprise due to Twitter/web. The power of internet, and youth. However, I never look Obama as a good speaker, mainly his head is always tilting from left to right, rarely stay on the center. Well, he's reading the speech off teleprompter, I do hope he's involved in speech writing... Plus, he always tilt his head up to an angle w/ chin up position while he talks (maybe due to his vision so he has to)...

緩夕。 人面桃花映三春，初春鵲喜歡搭橋，婉春織女會情郎，守春相思眠又長; 朝夕難改思媛夢，雲霧矇眼難矇心，滴答流失三六四，只為相會心相依。 --- “嘿～ 兄弟，兄弟，打哪來啊？” “咦，喔，哥們，小弟剛從九泉出來。” “九泉？ 之上還是之下啊？” “之下，前幾日門剛開，就出來遊晃遊晃。” “看你的樣子，該是剛進九泉沒多久吧？” “哇～ 哥們眼力那麼好，這也看得出來？” “那是，好說我也混了幾百年了，這點新鮮程度怎能看不出呢。你該不會想投胎吧？” “想啊，人世多美好啊，那九泉啥都沒有，總不能整日桑拿吧？ 再說了，那股熱勁，也不夠大伙用啊。” “也是，火龍減產，搞的獄火低迷，各階級都在度小月，馬呼馬呼的，早知道上南天門去看星星也聊勝於無。都是你們啦，沒事下來那麼多幹嘛？湊熱鬧是吧？” “哥們這話不對了，你以為我想下九泉嗎？上南天門的道德指數那麼高，一丁點芝麻小事都要計較，ㄟ，我是人耶～ 真當我是聖人喔？！” “兄弟耶～ 你真那麼呆喔，不會從西天門進去？那控管的鬆懈，你沒聽過西方極樂世界嗎？” “西方，嗯，不對啊！當時沒給我這選擇啊！” “沒給你選，你不會要求喔？你當人時的知識都白讀了喔？腦筋不會轉嗎？” “。。。。 我，那牛頭馬面真的沒說啊！！” “兄弟，要是你常年累月的去拘捕魂魄，你還會有啥興緻多說兩句？” “我。。。 我，我可以申訴嗎？” “你跟誰申訴啊？算了吧，九泉除了沒酒之外，其它的待遇還不錯，一年出來混個一個月，到處走走晃晃，有機緣的話還可考慮投胎，老實講，日子過得挺逍遙的呢～” “哥們，那，你說你有幾百年了，你幹嘛不投胎呢？” “嘿嘿，重點來了，你以為我不想啊～ 我只是沒找到好人家。” “哇～ 這還可以挑喔？” “兄弟你剛來還不清楚，這九泉也是有規矩的，我嘛，這幾百年來到處積鬼德，看到小鬼被欺負我就去幫忙，看到大鬼去嚇人我就去唬人，遇到餓鬼我就給它吃雞腿，碰到溺水鬼我就幫它加水，諸如此事，總之是可幫鬼的我都去幫，這樣我的鬼緣自然會好，鬼德指數也會提升，當我想投胎時，我的選擇自然會比其它鬼還好囉～” “哥們，這是公開的規矩嗎？怎麼都沒聽說過？” “噓～ 這是我幫判官搞丟一本生死簿後他偷偷告訴我的。” “不會吧！這也行！” “嘿嘿，這你就不懂了，...

台美人？ 今年初開始一直聽到這個名詞，聽得莫名其妙，因為不知道是啥意思。 今天才知道是"台灣出生的美籍華人"，or Taiwanese American. 這是哪個白痴想出來的？？ German Americans, Irish Americans, English Americans, Asian American, Hispanic/Latino Americans, 都有一個共通點：“Racial and ethnic groups”.  族裔，並不等於出生居住地。。。  若台美人的定義成立，那： 台英人 -Taiwanese-English 台加人 -Taiwanese-Canadian 台德人 -Taiwanese-German 台法人 -Taiwanese-French 台澳人 -Taiwanese-Australian 台日人 -Taiwanese-Japanese 台非人 -Taiwanese-African 或許你覺得是對的，那：   嗯，香港，澳門，新加坡，馬來西亞的華人呢？？ 香美人？ 港美人？ - HongKongNess-American 香英人 -HongKongNess-English 香加人 -HongKongNess-Canadian 香德人 -HongKongNess-German 香法人 -HongKongNess-French 香澳人 -HongKongNess-Australian 香日人 -HongKongNess-Japanese 香非人 -HongKongNess-African 澳美人，新美人，馬美人？？？？ 華人的族裔啥時分的這麼多了？？ 用 Chinese-American 你是會死是嗎？ 美國人口普查時，誰會管你從哪來的？ 是管你的族裔！ 你要不想填寫那項都可以，反正有你這個人就行了，賦稅重要。。 不在實力，經濟基礎上充實自己，在這種無聊的名詞上搞東搞西的，弄的世人莫名其妙，各國移民署，普查局誰會為了這個而把表格弄得跟聖經一樣長讓你去勾個快樂？？ 最多就個 Asian-American 就結束了。留個空白部份，你以為他們真的去細看嗎？ 重點是： "Minority-American...
